Highcombe Hike, Hindhead

Take a challenging walk through ancient woodland and open heath to find out how the Punch Bowl was formed. On the way learn about the people who lived in the old 'broom-squires' cottages and how they made their living here over the centuries.

Covering 6.2 km, this is a satisfying walk that most reasonably fit hikers will complete in about 1 hour and 23 minutes.

This loop trail is a practical choice for day hikers: you start and end at the same spot, with no shuttle or pick-up required.

Part of the Local Walking Network (LWN), this trail is ideal for exploring the neighbourhood landscape. It is typically well-known to local walkers and offers an authentic sense of place.
